There is a bug that we came across when trying to use the DN10000 (@ SR10.3.p) with Mentor 7.X from a 7.X node (DN3k/4k @SR10.3). Mentor has changed the location that it looked for the information for a remote server. Previously, (as in 7.0) when spawning a remote process on the DN10000 such as the lsim_server for a simulation, Mentor looked on the remote node for the needed library information for the remote process. However, in 7.X, Mentor now is looking at the local node for the library information of the remote server. This means that one of two things must happen: 1) The library information for the DN10000 (/idea/sys/lib) must be added to every node that wants to create a remote process on the DN10000. I am not sure that this is even possible from the Mentor install script. 2) Install links in the /idea/sys/lib directory for every node that wants to create a process on the DN10000. Since the DN10000 is only authorized for QuickSim and QuickFault, there is only three links that need to be added to every node. The links are as follows: crl /idea/sys/lib/lsim_server.prism //wst12/idea/sys/lib/lsim_server.prism crl /idea/sys/lib/fsim_server.prism //wst12/idea/sys/lib/fsim_server.prism crl /idea/sys/lib/synonym_server.prism //wst12/idea/sys/lib/synonym_server.prism This is a real pain to add after installing the software, but is the only fix that is currently available. Mentor has been notified of the problem and has reproduced the problem. They were also informed that the creating of the links was not a very accceptable solution to the problem.
